Set just north of Lawrence in the scenic Twin Ridge Heights West rural subdivision, this extraordinary 5.6-acre property offers a rare opportunity to own the personal residence and creative sanctuary of beloved Lawrence artist Louis Copt and his wife, Phyllis. Designed and built in 2002, the home reflects a lifetime devoted to art, craftsmanship, and intentional living. Inspired by the architectural principles of Frank Lloyd Wright, this vertical prairie-style home features expansive overhangs, strong lines, and a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape. Inside, the dramatic living room rises to 20-foot ceilings, anchored by a striking fireplace that uniquely backs to a wood-fired pizza oven imported from Italy—blending function, artistry, and gathering space into one unforgettable focal point. The home itself serves as a canvas, with artistic contributions from local talents Barry Fitzgerald and Kate Dineen woven throughout. Natural light pours into every space, enhancing both the architecture and the home’s gallery-like quality. Currently configured as a 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence, the main level includes a large open studio where Louis created much of his work. This space offers flexibility and can easily be converted to an additional bedroom and bathroom. Thoughtfully maintained, the home features a tankless water heater, a new roof in 2022, and a new septic tank installed in 2023. Outdoors, enjoy a peaceful setting with a sauna garden and sauna, storage shed, gardening shed, vegetable garden, and native landscaping. An additional 5-acre parcel directly north is also available (MLS #2605277), offering expansion potential or added privacy. A truly rare offering - where architecture, art, and place come together in a way that is nearly impossible to replicate. Disclaimer: Sight unseen offers may be accepted by the Seller.
